Hi Feargus
Setting up a freedive club in Ireland sounds like a great idea. What help would you like? I can send you all the BFA pool safety and open water safety guidelines that allow you to become BFA and then AIDA affiliated. You will need an AIDA instructor to oversee your group and obiously all the correct ( in date! ) o2 kit, firstaid kit and First aid training. For an open water club the same thing applies but you also need a VHF, lines, floats and risk assesment on where you are and a rescue plan. There are a few other things but they depend on how deep etc! I would like to see good club in Ireland as you have some good water and some good fish!
If you want any more info look at the BFA
www.britishfreediving.org or send me a PM.
Be safe and never dive alone
B
BFA Club officer.
